Long story short, two years after I bought the pipe, I had to move. Never saw the pipe again, always looked through boxes to see if I could find it, always looking through bags to see if it was hiding. I finally got frustrated and went through my old closet today and lo and behold there was a bag in the corner looking rather unassuming but it peaked my interest. I opened it up and removed the first two pairs of gym shorts that were in there along with some old notes from my previous job and there it was laying there, the Nording pipe. I cleaned it up, oiled the stem, ran a couple pipe cleaners through it and lit up a bowl of 2010 dark English. What a great smoke
I know that somewhere in all my "stuff" there are some pipes that have sentimental value to me. At least I know that I didn't sell them along the way. One of them is a Mastercraft sandblast billiard that I gave my Dad as a gift in the past. I got it back when he passed away. He was pretty hard on his pipes, but fortunately this one was not too bad. There are some other pipes that I have stashed along the way - hoping to come across them soon.
